"This work paves the way to providing users with trusted access to medical superintelligence-health AI that can ultimately combine the wide-ranging knowledge of a general physician, with the depth of a specialist. Microsoft says its Copilot tool is already handling more than 50 million consumer health questions a day across its products and describes Copilot Health as a stepping stone toward what it calls medical superintelligence."
"The new feature can combine data like activity levels and sleep patterns from wearable devices, such as an Oura ring or Fitbit, as well as health records from more than 50,000 U.S. hospitals and provider organizations through a platform called HealthEx. The company says Copilot Health then draws on verified sources from credible health organizations across 50 countries and serves expert-written answer cards from Harvard Health."
"Like OpenAI, Microsoft says it will not use Copilot Health data to train its models. The company has obtained ISO/IEC 42001 certification-an independent standard for AI management systems-and says health conversations are isolated from general Copilot under additional privacy controls."
Microsoft introduced Copilot Health, a specialized feature within its Copilot AI assistant designed to consolidate and analyze health information from multiple sources. The platform integrates data from wearable devices like Oura rings and Fitbits, electronic health records from over 50,000 U.S. hospitals and provider organizations through HealthEx, and verified information from credible health organizations across 50 countries. Copilot Health provides expert-written answers from Harvard Health and connects to real-time U.S. provider directories enabling users to search for clinicians by specialty, location, language, and insurance coverage. Microsoft reports handling over 50 million consumer health questions daily and positions Copilot Health as progress toward medical superintelligence. The company commits to not using health data for model training and has obtained ISO/IEC 42001 certification with additional privacy controls isolating health conversations.
